Luck already missed all of OTA's while he was wrapping up things at Stanford. Allowing him to miss one second of training camp would be catastrophic for Irsay and the organization, not only from talent standpoint, but from a P.R. standpoint.

The new franchise quarterback is going to need time to adjust to the NFL and develop chemistry with his new teammates. Irsay knows it. Luck knows it. The only party that looks bad in this scenario if Luck does not have a contract by the time camp rolls around is Irsay.

Irsay and the Colts have no leverage in this situation. He is not helping matters by taking this public. Everyone involved and observing the situation knows Luck will be in camp on day one, so what is the hold up?
